Why do you still stick with the OG Panzer Corps?

[Tedder]

Thanks!
With that information, I should be able to get one of my teens to walk me through it. I forgot there was a mod forum.

It is all on the forum, use google to search the forum... the search function on the forum may not find it

I have been playing Panzer Corps for years. I have played every campaign dozens of times, and the main campaign over hundreds of times.
I would like to try the mods, especially Battlefront Europe, but I’m afraid I may be too computer illiterate to install a mod.
Is there a link to step-by-step instructions on how to install mods? I don’t even know where to begin.

Installing mods for Panzer Corps is unfortunately not as easy as it could be.

I wrote this detailed step-by-step guide to guide players through it.
It might seem a bit long and tedious, but most of it has to be done only once, and then that preparation works for every Panzer Corps mod you might want to install in the future (if done exactly as described).
15 minutes of focused work for hundreds of hours of fun.

The infantry game is better in PZC unusually ~ I used to rage about how Infantry was awful, but I think PzC2 is a vast downgrade in terms of Infantry warfare/units.

PZC2 is Pioneer spam (imo), whereas PzC I can find a use for the Heavy Infantry, the SMG guys (omg they were so annoying), and I had reason to bring basic Infantry alongside anything else. Heroes were beelined to Engineers, especially if they were movement heroes.

PzC2 the issue is close defence, they just don't provide what is necessary for their intended role ~ there's been tons of discussion on this mind.

PC1 has the better Grand Campaign for Germany (again, IMO), with some great scenarios in the early war; Piatek was fun, whereas PC2 went far too niche. I enjoyed the Saar campaign but, let's be honest, the big cake on the table is supposed to be Poland. PC1's campaign seems more well thought out in terms of direction than PC2. Though I do like the little story they did with PC2's campaign, I feel the alt-history was sanitised and a bit too convenient, washing its hands of the Nazis effectively, when the chances of that happening, especially if the war was in Germany's favour, were close to zero, IMO. Just culling the political elite was never going to reverse the Nazification of the general population.

There's also no Africa or Soviet campaign yet, and as they've shelved Pacific, it's just a bit of a content drought. Chess maps and tournaments aren't what I'm here for.

Hopefully they design the Poland + Allies campaign with care and put out something like PC1's GC in terms of length and intensity. We'll see though.

So there is still active development on PzC2?

[PanzerCro]

Currently for two reasons...

1. I had to sell my gaming laptop due to financial reasons
2. It's still one of the best turn based strategy games ever.


Currently playing AK on FM (no italian challenge), trying to unlock other difficulties. And on Basra mission I got 2nd +1 range hero on my 21cm artt.unit...

There is no better game like Panzer Corps... still enjoy this game after many years.

Against the background of the mediocre second part, the first one looks like a divine gift )))) So classics are eternal !!!!

There're replayability and joy in simpler mechanic, in which i find myself in this scenario.
I have played PzC2 till end of 46' Scenarios. Just feel it... soulless, with all the better graphic and deeper gameplay. More like i always come back to HoMM3 despite of having good time with HoMM5-6-7.
